I rarely eat out at all. Eating out alone is not a nice experience and many places dissuade you even if you're trying.
Take the pubs for example. "Find a table, note the number, then come and queue for ages to place your order"... not an option if you're on your own as your seat's nicked.
I recently tried to have a carvery. It was really popular, you had to buy a ticket at the bar then queue. Thing was I bought a drink. It was "buy a drink now and carry it in the queue and juggle it while piling your plate", or "get your meal, put it on the table and leave it to get cold while you queue at the bar to get a drink". So I opted to carry the drink with me. It's tricky stuff!
About 10 years ago I was living in a bedsit and instead of a takeaway on a Saturday night I thought I deserved to eat out. So I went out to find an indian restaurant. Table for one. At the beginning of the evening every indian was entirely empty, but they said "no" to me for a table for one. Through the evening I found about seven restaurants to go into. All a "no" to a request for a table for one (none were full/busy).
Finally, about to give up, I tried the last one. It was chocca. "table for one?" - not only did they say yes, they even found me a table, placed it in a nice corner and laid it. Brilliant effort.0 -

If he ever comes up as the celeb under discussion on Chris Evans 'top tenuous' slot in his show, you are in with a chance of having the best story......--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -

Ramsay is a boorish unplesant man who has traded on his unplesantness for years.
What goes round comes round and therfore I do not pity his misfortunes now.0 -
Speaking as an Italian I do think Great Britain has some fantastic food and fresh produce ,though as someone else pointed put I don't see much evidence in Tescos of it
My children also eat what we eat,there is no debate.
I have a neighbour who seems to cook several different meals nightly to please her kids!
Back on topic I think Mr Ramsay,like many others right now is feeling the pressure of the credit crunch.
Just because he is famous it doesn't make him an exception.
I also think he has expanded far too fast and in this climate that is risky.0 -
If you love really good food, go to St John's on St Johns Street. For my money, it's the best food on sale in Britain.
Is that the very meaty one, with brains, tongue, and bone marrow on the menu? My pupilmaster took me there for dinner, and even though I eat very little meat, it was fantastic....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I hope he survives simply because I like the guy. I love the way he tells you exactly what he's thinking and doesn't care how important you (think) you are. If he doesn't like you (or your food) then he'll tell you without beating about the bush.
I reckon he doesn't like women much. He's very patronising towards pretty much all women on his various shows....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

That's the one. They do excellent seafood there too: I had some beautiful razor clams there once.
The best of all was a shin of veal on the bone a mate and I shared. Yum!0 -
